Huckabee to be McCain's VP?

There are starting to be a lot of rumors about this. I just heard today that Huckabee was allegedly offered a deal with McCain, to become his VP.

After hearing this, I did a couple of searches, and found a couple of hits. I didn't think too much of it until I turned on Fox news, with the Beltway Boys (Morton Kondracke and Fred Barnes). They were also commenting about this rumor.

They explained it as Huckabee taking votes away from Romney, the more conservative between he and McCain. It was also noted that out of five minutes of interview with Fox news, 3 of the minutes were used to downplay Romney.

Its no doubt that Huckabee is my favorite, he is the most conservative of the 3 GOP candidates, but I do not approve of McCain (or Romney for that matter).

I decided to take a visit to the McCain for President website, to find out his view on some issues. Everyone knows he is a big supporter of Bush's plan in Iraq, but we don't know too much more about him. Click here to read about where he stands on the issues. (My favorite was sanctity of life, watch his video *sarcasm*)

Huckabee is the conservative that would bring balance to McCain. He would be able to pull the more conservatives and real Republicans, while McCain pulls the moderates and independents. The big issue would then be who they are up against. Who would run with Hillary, and who would run with Obama? Both have run such nasty campaigns that they wouldn't run with each other... Edwards could run as a VP for either, but I dont know that it will help out too much.

Either way, how do you feel about, or what are you thoughts about a McCain/Huckabee ticket?
